She was just an ungraduated college student, using her favoritism with Zachary to walk around the office with an air of superiority. Now, having coffee splashed on her in front of everyone by Joycelyn, she was utterly devastated.
But Joycelyn's presence exuded something different-an air of confidence that made Ella hesitate, "Are you okay? Did it burn? I'll have Sandra grab you a fresh set of clothes," Joycelyn said, pulling out her phone to call Sandra.
Ella stood nearby, her face a mix of humiliation and anger. She was the type to rely on her fragile demeanor. But now, overwhelmed, she collapsed to the floor in tears.
Lucy's colleagues started to gather around, especially her director, who seemed to know Ella. He walked over, dabbing Ella's face with a handkerchief. "What's going on here? Personal disputes aren't allowed at the company. Lucy, you've only just joined-why are you causing trouble?" Lucy's supervisor, a man in his thirties named Caleb, frowned, his voice filled with accusation. He seemed to think every woman with a bit of charm must have climbed the corporate ladder through other means.
"It was Ella who charged at Lucy first. I threw the drink at her face, not Lucy's," Joycelyn said, stepping in front of Lucy, her posture straight and composed, her cold gaze locked onto Caleb.
"Even if she was being unreasonable, she shouldn't have thrown it in her face. Only someone truly vicious would target a woman like that. You hit someone, but you don't hit their face," Caleb said, pulling out a handkerchief to wipe the coffee stains from Ella's face.
"Ugh, she threw it in my mouth! Who knows if there are germs in it? I'm going to the hospital for a check-up." "You threw hot coffee earlier, didn't you? I don't know if it burned Lucy, but if you need a checkup, we can go together. Lucy needs a full exam, and as for your slander, you can either apologize or prepare for a lawsuit," Joycelyn said, uninterested in the scene playing out.

"Which department are you from?" Caleb stood up, his height giving him an imposing presence as he tried to intimidate Joycelyn.
"Planning department." "Planning department? Is your department getting involved in overseas trade now? Seems like you're overstepping," Caleb's tone was cold, clearly trying to suppress Joycelyn, who stood unfazed, her voice calm as she responded.
"And what about her? An intern from the admin department is coming here to stir up trouble. You seem to be treating her differently-do you have spersonal connection?" Joycelyn asked, unhurried, her voice soft but sharp.
"Ella's smart. She's planning to join us as a translator, but she's not from any other department,” Caleb replied, irritation thick in his voice. He had a strange, unspoken animosity toward Joycelyn.
"Then let's call the police. There's surveillance, after all. We'll see who's in the wrong," Lucy, though new, stepped up, not wanting to see Joycelyn mistreated.
At that moment, the deputy director, Hazel Rae, approached with a stern expression. "It's a misunderstanding a part to play here. Let's all apologize and move on without causing more trouble for the company." yone has After speaking, Hazel leaned in and whispered a few words to Caleb, hinting that both women had connections to Ellison Grant and advising him not to escalate the situation.

She thought, 'Most college students have a kind of innocent foolishness about them, but this one-this one is just plain foolish 6923 "If Zachary is so powerful, let him confront the person who fired you. Why are you targeting Lucy?" Joycelyn's gaze was cold, unwavering, like a frozen lake-still on the surface but with an underlying depth of intensity.
Ella found herself unnerved by Joycelyn's icy presence, her heart racing, unable to meet her gaze. Instead, she looked toward Lucy, standing behind Joycelyn.
"Because she's improper, hiding in the shadows! Mr. Grant's married, and she still tries to seduce him," Ella spat, her glare directed at Lucy.
This issue had been simmering for a while, and it had gained significant attention when it first started. When Lucy had just joined the company, she didn't have any allies to back her up, so she had kept her distance. Getting a job at the Grant Group was a rare opportunity, and she was focused on building her career, not getting caught up in . But now, the matter had flared up again, and Lucy was genuinely furious-especially in front of Joycelyn.
"And where's your evidence?" Joycelyn's voice was calm, but her eyes locked onto Ella, sharp and calculating. "The evidence was on my old phone, but Lucy broke it," Ella snapped back.
"Where did you get that evidence from? Mr. Willows? A shareholder caught filming Mr. Grant? Are you trying to get yourself in trouble, dragging others down with you?" Joycelyn's voice held a quiet amusement, clearly mocking the stupidity of this fragile pawn.
Before Joycelyn could say more, the elevator doors slid open.
The employees of the Grant Group, who had been quietly watching, froze in shock.
"Who filmed me?" Ellison's voice rang out from the elevator, clear and commanding, carrying with it a chilling authority.

"Y-You... You're Mr. Grant?" Ella could hardly believe her eyes as the man walked toward her. Dressed in a sharp suit, his deep, dark eyes seemed like an endless, icy abyss, radiating a chilling coldness that made her heart skip a beat. Tall, handsome, and youthful-he was the President! Ella thought, 'Lucy's living the good life!" "I wasn't filming anyone. Lucy and Joycelyn are the ones who bullied me. I don't know what I did to upset them, but they splashed coffee in my face. Mr. Grant..." Ella's voice suddenly trembled, the tears welling up as she put on a pitiable act, trying to win Ellison's sympathy.
Joycelyn couldn't help but laugh quietly. She thought, "This (angelic) bitch thinks all men will fall for her act he relies on her youth and charm, sticking to any man she sees.

"Mr. Grant, they've been bullying me! You're being biased. Why aren't you doing something about them?" Ella stomped her foot, her voice tinged with a pout of frustration. "With a mind like yours, getting involved would just dirty my hands," Ellison said, raising his hand to signal William to take care of it.
That's when Ella noticed the ring on his finger-it was identical to the one Joycelyn wore, a couple's ring.
"Your rings are the same? Are you stealing Lucy's husband?" Ella gasped in shock, pointing at Lucy.
"Did I do something to you, or are you just looking for trouble?" Lucy was absolutely furious, her anger reaching its breaking point.
